Yes, yes, yes I know sacrilege. Let the down voting begin!
BUT just hear me out:
-
He’s a solid/good player. I need more to pay him more. Has he made any plays like that pick 6 his rookie year?
-
The NFL doesn’t pay Safties. Not as bad as RBs but still low.
-
GOD willing we get a new DC +GM atleast and hopefully a new staff. How that new staff views Curl and want to use him will dictate funds and I don’t want to immediately hamstring them by saying “yeah but we are paying Curl”
-
With ~90 mil, 5 top picks and a QB on a 5th round rookie deal, we can quickly overhaul the defensive talent and oline.
Now, I still would resign personally but the art of a good deal is being prepared to walk from negotiations if you just aren’t getting a deal done
He’s gonna be the perfect franchise tag candidate imo. According to Spotrac it’s $14.5 million-ish for safeties.
